Another long day at school has come and gone. Although it wasn't boring, that's for sure. Today, my English class was cancelled for some reason I'm not quite sure of. Our class was still assigned to meet with our small peer review groups to edit our second essay of the semester. My group, Team Quill (I still think we could have chosen a better name) was the only group that decided to meet up in our classroom. Over the two hour period, my teammates: Fish, Coraline and Dragon (yep, I am giving them nicknames), while managing to go over each others papers, Dragon asked us what our first impressions were of each other when we first met on the first day of school. Coraline admitted that she thought Dragon was a tough guy who was about ready to punch someone. Honestly, I had the same impression of him. In reality, he's actually a nice, shy guy. Coraline tends to always have her hood on her head, her head on her desk, and her phone on her desk, but she's a lot more talkative and friendly than she may appear. Fish is the eldest in our class, a mellow military woman who works hard but also enjoys stirring up some fun in class, if it ever gets boring that is. Everyone thought I was the kind of person who just didn't want to be talked to and wanted to be completely left alone. Man, did I prove them wrong. I maybe a quiet person, but when I want to speak up and be heard, I'll say something for sure.
All in all, we had a great time spent together earlier today, full of jokes, stories, and laughter. Who knew we'd learn so much about each other in just a short time. That moment only comes to show: If you're going to pass judgement on a person, judge them based on who they are, and not who they appear to be.
This is Jack-Jack saying, until tomorrow... Good Night!
